Collect SEO data
at scale
ApifyForge helps SEO professionals and content teams collect ranking data, meta tags, and technical audit signals by combining SERP scrapers and site crawlers. Best for building custom SEO datasets without Ahrefs ($99/mo) or SEMrush ($130/mo) subscriptions. Less suitable when you need a full backlink index or domain authority scores. Costs $0.05 per keyword or page.
The problem
Enterprise SEO tools like Ahrefs and SEMrush cost $100-400/month per seat. For specific data needs — bulk meta tag extraction, custom SERP tracking, or competitor content analysis — these tools are either overkill or lack the exact data you need.
The solution
Apify actors let you build custom SEO data pipelines. Scrape SERPs for specific queries, extract meta tags and structured data from any set of URLs, audit websites for technical SEO issues, and monitor competitor content changes. Pay only for the data you actually need.
How it works
Define your data needs
What SEO data do you need? SERP positions for specific keywords? Meta tags across your site? Competitor backlink profiles? Technical audit of crawl errors?
Pick the right actors
Use the Actor Recommender to find scrapers for your specific need. Google SERP scraper for rankings, website scraper for meta tags, or a dedicated SEO audit actor.
Run and schedule
Run actors on-demand for one-off analysis, or schedule recurring runs to track changes over time. Weekly SERP checks catch ranking movements early.
Build your dataset
Export data as CSV for spreadsheet analysis, or pipe it into a database for long-term trend tracking. Use the LLM Optimizer if feeding data into AI analysis tools.
